Best Public Schools in Zip Code 47336

Summary:

The 47336 zip code is home to a single elementary school, West Jay Elementary, which is part of the Jay School Corporation district. While West Jay Elementary has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking over the past three years, its academic performance is mixed, with some grade levels performing above the state average and others below. The school serves a population with significant economic challenges, with 74.7% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

West Jay Elementary's overall English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics proficiency rates are slightly above the district averages, but the school's grade-level performance is uneven. For example, 4th-grade ELA proficiency is above the state average, while other grades lag behind. Similarly, 3rd and 4th-grade math proficiency exceeds the state average, while other grades struggle. The school's social studies proficiency rate for 5th-graders is higher than both the district and state averages.

Despite the economic challenges faced by its student population, West Jay Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.8, which could be a strength in providing more individualized attention and support. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 19.4% is higher than the state average, which may be a factor in its mixed academic performance. Overall, West Jay Elementary appears to be making progress, but still has room for improvement, particularly in addressing grade-level disparities and supporting its economically disadvantaged students.
